>Description:
	While upgrading a 1-6 release machine to -current of 20020220 I 
	stumbled on a problem where items were not being extracted to
	/usr/include/machine/*.

	After some checking there appeared to be two problems, the first,
	was that my /usr/include/machine was a directory and not a symlink
	I can only assume this is default from the 1-6 release sets since
	I've never modified it.  The second problem was that comp.tgz was
	not creating the /usr/include/machine symlink when extracted.  
	Instead extraction of base.tgz was creating it.  This being the
	case the order of extraction became dependant on base being
	extracted first.

	I have been told that this is probably not correct and thus the
	send-pr.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Attempt to extract -current sets onto an existing 1-6 release system
	existence of directory and not symlink will cause files intended
	for /usr/include/machine/* not to be updated/appear.
